Fifteen demonstrators in Tokyo marched through the streets yesterday, shouting slogans and waving banners in their protest of the celebration of Christmas in Japan. This was not a nationalist objection to a holiday of foriegn origin, but an annual tradition of the Revolutionary Alliance of Unpopular People.
Sora News 24 explains that in Japan, which has only a very small Christian population in modern times, Christmas is a romantic holiday for couples. This irritates himote--lonely people, mostly men, who are unable to find dates. They banded together to form an organization to crush Christmas love and have marched each Christmas Day since 2007.
